This Week In Books Or *SHAME* Now I've Really Done It!

Tuesday: According to my sister I didn't get anything and then hiding on the stairs I found two books from bookmooch! How It's Done and Pug Hill!

Wednesday:Holidays on Ice and The Smart One and the Pretty One came in the mail. Thanks Miriam!

Thursday: Popped over to the library and hit the jackpot! They had a whole cart of "new" paperbacks. No idea where they came from but there was some good stuff! I rode home on the overflowing 15+ extra people bus with two bags of books!

I got (gonna do a list!):

Shopaholic Ties the Knot

All About Vee

On Beauty

English As A Second Language

Going Home

The Hindi Bindi Club

If You Could See Me Now

The Autobiography of Vivian

Saturday

Friday: nothing

Saturday: Before I hit the jackpot at the library me and my sister had decided to go to two of our favorite used bookstores this weekend. We went anyways, i had coupons!

I hit a book sale at my college held by one of the honor societies on Wednesday and got four books (for 2 dollars): If Only They Could Talk by James Herriot, The Fiancee and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov, The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty, and Can You Forgive Her? by Anthony Trollope.

raidergirl3- Haha! I'm glad! Looks like you were getting some good buys in though! I heart Amazon gift certificates!

tina- Thank you! Yeah the closest used book store is full of romances too but I'll go in every once in a while and find something good! I need to go about 20-30 minutes to the really good store! What 2008 YA Chick Lit did you get???

Kelsey- I hope you enjoy Prep!!

Marie- Ahhh I'm so excited about Holidays on Ice. I read the original version several years ago so I'm excited about the new stories!
